CP-E Intake manifold

We will get this out as soon as we can, but we do not have a timeline as of yet. Here is a preview of the IM we are testing in our Project Bulldog car now.

Have any actual changes been made during this "Engineering process" lately? Seems like the same pics of the Bulldog car are just being posted up every couple months. Just longevity testing?

I am pretty sure they are testing logo location.

This isn't finished yet?

[shaneski]

2 weeks

[saint340]

lol 2 weeks since last year

[kbz0129]

I have a feeling this thing is on the backburner at CP-e and has been for a while now.

[Bucker]

Anything?

[Easter Bunny]

Of course not.

Idk why I'm even subscribed to this thread anymore...

Mehhhh

[starscream]

Its taking so long because they are trying to findout and documents each way they can deny warranty once you have an issue with the manifold.

[Raider]

Of course, our bickering probably does not have them rushing to release it.

Aww shit. Not that crap again....

Your memories are shorter than penises. Their side mounts took 2 weeks as well.

Just assume it's gonna be ready, when it's ready.

[Darth_Nuruodo]

I just assume it will never be ready. Or at least not while anyone is still running the platform.

Oh, there will be people driving there cars. The same kids now running protege5's and msp's going to the cheapest source. Seeing it with those running ricelands.

Last time I checked they were working on the ST mani.

They don't give fuck about speeds anymore! STs more important now

Inb4 ST gets one first :p

[Darth_Nuruodo]

I wouldn't be surprised, ST got injectors first....

STs got injectors first because they already existed on another platform, not because someone went out and custom made them.

[Yousuf]

I don't even get how a community as cynical as MSF is so hopeful. Like shit does everyone really want the manifold, or do they just want for it to be released just because. When I need a manifold in the near future, I sure as fuck won't be waiting for something in lieu of buying soothing already available. I may sound like a prick, but I don't do waiting (says the guy who waited 6 months for wheels, lol).

Just wait for 2016 when USA guys are bragging on how fast the Focus RS market loaded up on mods.

yess, when RS show up at USA, everyone will change their car..

[Darth_Nuruodo]

2016 is going to be a tough decision year, RS or new Miata....

I thought stock intake mani for focus was supposed to support 700+ whp?
Why would they bother, have they even broke 500 yet?

[Tokay444]

After market support from real racing companies comes to cars that people race.
The MZR motor is used in the caterham spec series, formula ford, and spec miata series.
Hence why you can build an entire motor with cosworth parts.
Only a handful of teams went racing with ms3.
They big platform that will evolve into a spec racing series is the BRZ.
Fuck, the whole wiring harness has one connection from chassis to motor that needs to be disconnected to pull the motor. It was well planned to go racing with.

^ Thats the time stamp for when this thread was created. Keep dreaming fan bois. CPE just tok "2 weeks" and turned it in to 2 years.

Yes they have.....just like they did with the sidemount back in 2010.
Here's repost of a funny reedit of their original news release...2 years after they posted it and no mounts yet. Standard stuff for CP-E.


------------------------------------------------------


CPE's original news release re-edited 2 years later.

(Parody not to be taken seriously.)





We've been promising upgraded side engine mounts to people for some time. In fact, its been 2 years. We figured what with all the other side engine mount posts, we'd throw ours into the mix – it makes us look "topical".


As with most of our products, we /really/ try to do things differently, and these mounts are no exception. For instance, most companies will announce a product shortly before its launch. But not us. We like to announce new products YEARS before ever producing them.

They're special not only because of the tremendous wait <strike>engineering effort that went into designing them and sophisticated the manufacturing techniques</strike>. but also because the part is functional and attractive.

In fact they have attracted hundreds to this “go no where” endless thread.

This upgraded engine mount set really has no compromises except manufacturing time, and I'm excited to share a little information about what went into making these suckers.

First, I should mention that this project was all created in CAD space. This stands for “Consumers Aggravated by Delay”

We used a very sophisticated Faro Arm which is more or less a mobile coordinate measuring machine. We can "map out" the engine bay, obstructions, as well as the maximum amount of hype and delay time it takes to actually launch a CPE product.

You can see one of our employees below mapping out the engine bay before he begins any work designing the mount: he figures sometime in 2011.

But wait, there's more! We also wanted to give you a glimpse as to how these mounts will be manufactured. These mounts will be welded using our twin robotic welding cell. We prefer to use robots to do our welding because they're so consistent. Unfortunately our robots are on strike.

And none of the components will be cut by a human either. Two years waiting should be proof of that! All of the components will either be laser cut, CNC machined, or CNC bent, or remain strictly in our dreams so again all of the components will have nearly perfect fitment. Even the welding jigs will be CNC machined, which makes this a 100% CAD based project. That's special because we've taken the majority human error out of the production.

In fact, we’ve taken it a step further, we have taken both the HUMANS and the PRODUCTION out of it!

CPE, we build dreams.

Lmfao. That's crazy to think about. I truly don't see this actually ever being released at this point.

Hell, JMF is already releasing a 3rd manifold version for us. They posted mold pictures last week and already have one CNC'd

Cpe can't even get exhaust manifolds in stock in a timely manner.

Yea, but it's the best manifold out there

[Voltwings]

The fact that its like ... the only one has a lot to do with that.

[Tokay444]

The original JMF is shit.
I'll reserve judgement on this new cast one.
The reason it was so popular is because they've had the market cornered so far.
